Automatic Updates not working

    The Update Automatically to 3.1.3 option generates the following error.

    Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Filesystem_direct’ not found in /usr/www/users/USERNAME/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 827

    (I’ve substituted the account name for USERNAME.)

    I’ve set all the files’ ownerships to USERNAME with permissions to 755, tried php-wrappers and root .htaccess file changes, but still receive the same error.

    What can I try next?

    There is no WP_Filesystem_direct in WordPress. Try – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of your current version of WordPress.

    Esmi:

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am new to WordPress.
    Can you please further explain how the Update Automatically option could possibly be referencing something which WordPress has no reference to?

    More importantly, how would I reupload the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of the my version of WordPress? I don’t quite understand your process.

    Sorry.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have no idea.

    UsingFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Just had the same issue when moving an old site (v 2.8.2). It turn out to the a file that hadn’t transferred correctly.

    wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php

    It was empty. Re-uploading the full file from the original download solved the error. You can get past versions here BTW:
